>> his track record is telling him on him. natural progression, his drug additi addiction. '08 a case. '09, one case he already been locked up for. now another one in '09. >> everything about a confidential informant or ci must be investigated whether he's a first-time informer or an established source. >> ci is a necessary eithvil inw enforcement. most of them 99% of the time, they, themselves are criminals and give you information to benefit themselves. not to benefit you. they're trying to get something out of you. either trying to get money to buy their drugs because they have a drug habit. they're trying to beat a court case so what you're doing is you're getting involved with criminals on a semi personal basis. >> by the time the ci u-turns an informant to the police they've

vetted him. things can go wrong with even the most dependable source. that's the case when the ciu and the sheriff's hbt team follow a street informant's tip and launch a raid in suburban chicago heights. >> got the search warrant signed by the judge, house is supposed to contain a quantity of heroin in excess of a kilo packaged up and ready to go. we'll see what we can find. >> we have possible two targets at this location, male and female. we're going to caravan over, transition into the location off of division route 30. at which time we stack up, we're going to make entry into the building. target location is one c charles. >> this is a hot area and it's hot outside. everybody's out and about on the street. everybody's going to be running around. as soon as they see the caravan and the van, the phones are going to start ringing, all right? so when we jump off the van and go to assault, make sure you

watch your background. okay? >> open the door. police, search warrant open the door! >> coming out. >> what's up? >> come on with all of this. >> authorities take the alleged dealer and his girlfriend into custody. but an initial search of their home fails to yield any narcotic. investigators try to flip each of them separately. >> you got opportunity to help yourself, that's what you want to to. >> do what? >> get out of the jam. you don't issue warrants for no reason. >> i'm going to tell you this time they did. >> keep it real. it's not the first time you've been arrested. that's what we're asking. who is going to take the way for whatever gets found, if something gets found? we want to know how many cars we need. one for you, one for her, one total?

>> how you doing? if they find something in the house it's yours or his? >> ain't nothing in the house. >> maybe something you didn't know about. >> ain't nothing in the house. >> background? >> uh-huh. >> yeah? >> petty stuff. >> yeah? dogs are in there barking. dogs only bark when they find drugs. whatever they find in the house is yours or his. >> ain't nothing in there. >> nobody takes the weight, everybody takes the ride. it's two for one. nothing? >> i don't know what you're talking about. >> heroin package on the left. show it to her, done believe it. >> real enough to you now? >> he's got the history for drugs and he's the guy named in the warrant. it was obviously it was his and not the girlfriend's. >> what knows who -- >> lock her up.

i'll bond her out. he's going to send you to jail. that's a real man, right? >> amount that he had left in there was a much smaller amount that -- than the informant said was supposed be to there. this was well hidden underneath the pipes in bathroom sink. might have misses the bigger stash. >> what i need you to do. write a statement saying it's not yours and you get out of here now. i uncuff you, you walk back in the house and it's over. >> in streets and in jail, everyone's an opportunist and police use this to their advantage. after today's raid, investigators circle back to their informant and conclude that his intel was good. the problem, they believe, was that they arrived too late and that the target had already sold his larger stash. authorities had expected to find over a kilo of heroin but left with only a few ounces. >> i think the frustrating part

is when you know somebody's doing something wrong, you've got to catch them you know kind of with their hand in the cookie jar or you're not building a case. you can get away with it a thousand times all we got to do is catch it once. >> up next, a new day, a new case. >> all right. all right. move. he's moving. >> a battle of wits unfolds between police and their targets. >> hands on them. i got him covered. >> informants play both sides. >> i played the game. stay est. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function
